You don’t need to know the right words.
Fons Catholic is a daily prayer companion that teaches you to pray from scratch — gently, one day at a time. 28 days. From zero to a prayer life. Everything a new Catholic needs.
Nobody taught you how.
Maybe you’re in OCIA right now, learning about the faith between weekly sessions. Maybe you’re exploring on your own — curious, not yet committed. Maybe someone you love is Catholic and you want to understand what they believe. Maybe you were received into the Church years ago but never really learned to pray. Maybe you were baptized Catholic as a child, drifted away, and you’re finding your way back.
It doesn’t matter how you got here. What matters is this: you want to pray, and nobody taught you how.
You’ve watched other Catholics kneel and close their eyes and you’ve wondered what they’re saying. You’ve heard people mention the Rosary, the Angelus, the Examen — and nodded like you already knew. You’ve felt like everyone else belongs and you’re still finding your footing.
You’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be. And this is where you start.

Continue with daily content
After your 28-day journey, keep growing with daily liturgical content delivered to your inbox. $25/year — less than a cup of coffee per month.
Your 28-Day Journey
By Day 28, you’ll have the prayers, the rhythm, and the confidence to walk into a Catholic church and feel at home.
Plus: the liturgical calendar, the saints, how Scripture works in Catholic life, sacramentals, and how to read a daily reflection.
What a Day Looks Like
Here’s a preview of Day 2 — The Our Father.
The Our Father
“Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
— Matthew 6:9–13The Living Water
When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, he didn’t give them a theology lecture. He gave them words. Simple, direct, intimate words — the kind a child would say to a father.
The Our Father is the first prayer every Catholic learns, and for good reason: it contains everything. Praise, surrender, petition, forgiveness, trust. You could pray nothing but the Our Father for the rest of your life and never run dry.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Questions & Answers
What is Fons Catholic?
Fons is a prayer formation platform for new and returning Catholics. It guides you through the essential prayers of the Church over 28 days, then offers ongoing daily content tied to the liturgical calendar. The name Fons is Latin for “fountain” or “source” — the living water of prayer.
Do I need to be Catholic?
No. Fons is for anyone who wants to learn Catholic prayer — whether you’re in OCIA, thinking about it, married to a Catholic, or just curious. Everyone is welcome.
What happens after the 28 days?
You can subscribe ($25/year) to continue receiving daily prayer content tied to the liturgical calendar. Or, if your parish gave you a code, you’re already covered for the full year. The 28-day journey itself is completely free and yours to keep — you can revisit it anytime.
How much does it cost?
The 28-day prayer journey is free. After that, an annual subscription costs $25/year for daily content and the full prayer library. Parish licenses start at $200/year for 25 codes.
Can my parish use this?
Yes. We offer parish licenses with bulk access codes. Purchase a Small ($200/year, 25 codes) or Large ($350/year, 50 codes) license, and distribute codes to your OCIA candidates, new parishioners, or anyone who could benefit. Each person starts on their own schedule.
What if I fall behind?
The on-ramp picks up where you left off. Miss a day? It’ll be there when you come back. Miss a week? Same thing. There’s no penalty for being human.
I’m a DRE/deacon/pastor. Can I try it before buying?
Absolutely. Sign up for the free on-ramp yourself. Experience what your candidates will experience. Then decide.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. We collect only what’s necessary to deliver your content: your name, email, and journey progress. We never sell your data, never share it with third parties, and never use it for advertising. Read our full privacy policy for details.
